Wire - Kidney Bingos

I heard this song for the first time recently and was struck by the remarkable resemblance to Big Audio Dynamite... anybody else notice the similarity? Is there a formal name for that guitar twang sound?

Just slight echo/reverb but it's one of my alltime favorire Wire songs. I have the Rare miniCd with Drill and Over theirs(Live) and the La Picocola version of Pieta.However I think wire had BAD beat by a few years with the sound.Wire around 76'.

I'm not teribaly familiar with B.A.D but "Wire" who later turned to "WIR" started as more as a punk band and later started more of an exceptable main stream sound.
